Somehow our poor offense may have to find a way to carry our defense which suffered more lost of stars than offense. I felt like if we could score an additional 3 points per game, we could achieve that goal.

Let's start with 2017:
#15 in yds/game: 330.4 (so insulting that we were behind the 9ers - 349.3 #12)
#14 in passing yds/game: 228.6 (again humbled by 9ers - 245.3 #9)
#23 in rushing yds/game: 101.8 ( humbled pies galore 9ers - 104, #21)
#11 in points/game: 22.9 (eat your hearts out 9ers, 20.7 #20)
I am hoping that we could be top 10 in the league, that would mean:
#12 in yds/game ~~~ 349.3 9ers or we need to gain an additional 18.9 yards per game.
#10 in passing ~~~ 239.4 Rams or we need to gain an additional 10.8 yards per game.
#16/17 in rushing ~~~ 109.9 Packers were #17 at 107.8, Bears #16 at 111.8, or we need an additional 10 yards per game.
#8 in points/game ~~~ 25.4 Steelers or we need to score an additional 2.5 points per game.
Potentials:
Two stars: Wilson and Baldwin.
A potential game changer: Penny
A great change of pace back: Prosise
OL: 2 pro bowlers, 1 all-rookie, a RG ranked #17 in run blocking.
All in all, we have 4 pro bowlers starting on our offense, that is 4 out of 11 folks. I believe that's more than the Rams.
Worries:
Shotty didn't really have an inspirational resume.
How much can Solari do to improve our OL with 4 returning starters?
RT Ifedi has been our problem child, can he improve? If not, is Fant ready?
All rookie or not, Pocic was statistically our worst lineman, can he improve enough to be average?
Can Lockett pick up where Richardson left off? I think he could, remember Richardson was a Lockett replacement when Lockett suffered his injury?
Who will be our tall receiver/TE? Unthinkable, but Darboh, Marshall and McEvoy may be key to our scoring.
How much gas does SeaBass still have in his tank? We haven't seen him so far, back still hurt???
Can we gain an additional 10 yards in rushing per game???? By RBs, not Wilson leading our rushing yardage.
Can we score an additional 2.5 points per game
